Laser Surgery represents some of the newest and most exciting technology used in Plastic Surgery today! Lasers are capable of gently washing away fine skin wrinkling of the face and the "age spots" and other skin damage from years in the sun. Some of the newest lasers are even able to remove unwanted facial and body hair, spider veins on the legs, some birthmarks, and maybe even that tattoo that just isn't as "cool" as it was ten years ago!

Lasers work by using light that transmits heat to the skin. Much like the summer sun, the result is a gentle and controlled burn to the area of concern. This may sound scary but it is actually quite safe and effective and can produce dramatic improvements to the area treated!

Today, the C.O.2 Lasers are commonly used to remove fine facial wrinkles particularly around the eyes and mouth or in some cases the whole face. The Diode Laser offers permanent removal of troublesome and embarrassing facial and body hair. Finally, a Laser is available to remove some vascular birthmarks, spider facial veins, and even that tattoo that seems to have lost its appeal !

All problems are not amenable to Laser Surgery and each case is best discussed with the doctor. If you have a specific question feel free to schedule a consultation and see what the newest cutting edge technology in Laser Surgery can do for you. Your questions will be addressed individually and there is no charge for this or any cosmetic consultation.

Laser Use and the Law
In Kentucky, the use of a laser or IPL machine is considered the practice of Medicine. Anyone using a laser must be a Physician or there must be a Physician on site and immediately available. As you consider any laser procedire, be certain your treatments are performed under the proper conditions defined by the Licensure Board. To see the Board's full ruling click here.
